Legacy

Roy Orbison was a highly influential American singer-songwriter, born on April 23, 1936 in Vernon, Texas. He achieved remarkable success in the UK during the "beat boom" of 1963-5 and experienced a resurgence with the Traveling Wilburys shortly before his untimely death at the age of 52. Inducted into both the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1989, Orbison's impact on music is undeniable.

With his unique voice and emotive songwriting, Roy Orbison captivated audiences worldwide. His contributions to rock and roll have left an indelible mark on the industry. Alongside his successful solo career, he collaborated with other legendary artists as part of the iconic supergroup, Traveling Wilburys.

Influenced by artists such as The Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly, Orbison's musical style encompassed elements of rockabilly, pop, and country. His timeless hits like "Oh Pretty Woman" and "Crying" continue to resonate with listeners today. Despite his tragic passing outside Nashville in December 1988, Roy Orbison's legacy lives on through his music.

Sings Lonely and Blue was among the first rock &amp; roll LPs to attract the interest of serious audiophile enthusiasts. Sings Lonely and Blue was not only a breakthrough for Roy Orbison as his debut LP, but also for rock &amp; roll.
